SUMMARY:Día de Muertos: Free Community Events!
DESCRIPTION:Día de Muertos is coming back to the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History! This joyful Mexican celebration takes place among families to welcome their departed family members\, to celebrate life\, and to poke fun at death. \nThis year\, the Connecticut Cultural Heritage Arts Program joins the Mariachi Academy of New England and the University of Saint Joseph to present two days of Día de Muertos/Day of the Dead activities and celebration! On Friday evening November 1 at 6pm\, head to the University of Saint Joseph’s Bruyette Athenaeum–more information here. \nOn Saturday\, November 2\, 10am-5pm\, come to CMCH to experience the sounds and sights of the Day of the Dead. Bilingual English/Spanish tours will be held for visitors to get to know the ofrendas\, or small altars\, that have been set up by local families. Visitors are encouraged to bring their questions and meet their neighbors! We will also have a communal ofrenda where you can bring in or create a message or memento that will become part of the display. \nGet ready to learn about the depth of the tradition–activities for all ages will include decorating sugar cookie skulls\, learning how to compose satirical calaveras poetry\, and learning how to make papel picado (cut paper decorations). Performances will happen throughout the day by the many talented ensembles from the Mariachi Academy\, and a food truck will be on site so you can keep enjoying the event all day long! \nBoth events are FREE and open to the public! \nThese events are supported by the Greater Hartford Arts Council’s United Arts Campaign with major support from the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving; the University of Saint Joseph; Ellen Brown; Berkshire Bank; the National Endowment for the Arts; and the CT Office of the Arts/DECD. \n**** \n¡El Día de Muertos viene! Esta alegre celebración Mexicana se lleva a cabo entre familias para dar la bienvenida a sus familiares fallecidos\, celebrar la vida y burlarse de la muerte. \n¡Este año\, el Programa de Arte del Patrimonio Cultural de Connecticut se une a la Academia de Mariachi de Nueva Inglaterra y la Universidad de Saint Joseph para presentar dos días de actividades y celebración del Día de Muertos! El viernes\, 1 de noviembre a las 6 p.m.\, diríjase al Bruyette Athenaeum de la Universidad de Saint Joseph para un taller de fabricación de linternas\, un desfile de mariachis\, poesía\, y refrescos. ¡Se otorgará premios en efectivo a los participantes con los mejores disfraces de La Catrina\, la elegante calavera que es un símbolo del Día de Muertos! \nEl sábado\, 2 de noviembre\, de 10 a.m. a 5 p.m.\, venga a la CMCH para experimentar los sonidos y las vistas del Día de Muertos. Habrán recorridos bilingües (en inglés y español) para que los visitantes conozcan las ofrendas\, o pequeños altares\, establecidas por familias locales. ¡Se invita a los visitantes a que hagan preguntas y conozcan a sus vecinos! También tendremos una ofrenda comunitaria donde puede traer o crear un mensaje o recuerdo que se convertirá en parte de la exposición. \nPrepárese para aprender sobre la profundidad de la tradición: las actividades para todas las edades incluirán decorar calaveras de galletas de azúcar\, aprender a componer “calaveras literarias” (un tipo de poesía satírica)\, y aprender a hacer papel picado (decoraciones de papel cortado). Las presentaciones se llevarán a cabo durante todo el día por los muchos conjuntos talentosos de la Academia Mariachi y Mariachi México Antiguo y habrá un camión de comida para que pueda seguir disfrutando del evento todo el día. \n¡Ambos eventos son GRATUITOS y abiertos al público! \n\nEstos eventos son apoyados por Greater Hartford Arts Council’s United Arts Campaign con el gran apoyo de Hartford Foundation for Public Giving; University of Saint Joseph; Ellen Brown; Berkshire Bank; National Endowment for the Arts; y CT Office of the Arts/DECD. \n\n

SUMMARY:Winin' 101: Finding Your Inner Jamette
DESCRIPTION:The Connecticut Cultural Heritage Arts Program welcomes Dr. Adanna Kai Jones to present a lecture/workshop that will address the bodily logic behind the rolling hip dance known as winin’. Rooted in the Trinidadian Carnival\, where the wine is most commonly performed\, participants will not only learn how and when to wine\, but they will be invited to connect to the deep histories of this dance culture\, paying particular attention to the late-19th Century jamette figure of Trinidad. Many scholars of the Trinidadian Carnival\, including Dr. Jones\, argue that the bodily logic of the wine is one of the inherited legacies of the jamette figure herself. So get ready to embody history in this multi-sensory lecture/workshop. (Note: no previous dance skills are needed\, just a willingness to participate and learn.) \n\nDr. Jones is Assistant Professor of Dance in the Department of Theater and Dance at Bowdoin College. As a dancer\, choreographer\, and researcher\, she critically examines the intersections of Caribbean dance\, Carnival\, and identity politics. \nThis event is free and open to the public\, and is supported by Connecticut Humanities. The lecture is held in tandem with the exhibit\, Mas: Carnival Costumes from Hartford’s West Indian Community.

SUMMARY:Exhibit Opening Reception: Mas: Carnival Costumes from Hartford’s West Indian Community
DESCRIPTION:[slideshow_deploy id=’14857′]\n  \nWe invite you to join us for the Opening Reception for Mas: Carnival Costumes from Hartford’s West Indian Community. \nThe Mas: Carnival Costumes from Hartford’s West Indian Community exhibit showcases Trinidad-style carnival costumes (Mas) made by Hartford teens during the summer 2018 Mas Camp\, the eighth year of a collaboration of the Connecticut Cultural Heritage Arts Program (CCHAP) and the Connecticut International Cultural Carnival Association (CICCA) under the direction of Linford “Junior” Miller. The colorful and elaborate costumes on display are similar to those worn in West Indian celebrations around the world\, and will be presented by the teens at Hartford’s Taste of the Caribbean Festival and the West Indian Parade this summer. \nThe exhibit features costumes from teen participants\, who have spent six weeks learning how to design and make the costumes under the guidance of master costume maker Keimani “Q” Delpeche. Dance teacher Clerona Cain trained the students in “displaying” their costumes in the West Indian Independence Parade and Festival. Each teen designed and built a complete costume\, including headpiece\, arm and foot bands\, girdles\, collars\, backpacks\, and all frames and attachments needed for wearing the elaborate structures. \nThe Mas Camp program trains Hartford teens in artistic activities important to their cultural heritage. The program also encourages job readiness skills such as collaboration\, financial literacy\, creativity\, and attention to detail. \nThe exhibit opening will also mark the graduation of the 25 teens involved in Mas Camp\, and they will perform their dance routine at the event. \nThe Mas Camp program is supported by the Greater Hartford Arts Council and the City of Hartford; the National Endowment for the Arts; the CT Office of the Arts/DECD; the West Indian Foundation\, the West Indian Independence Celebration\, the UConn Caribbean Interdisciplinary Research and Outreach Institute\, and UConn’s El Instituto/the Institute for Latin American and Caribbean Studies. \nThis event is free and open to the public. \nPlease let us know if you are able to join us by August 17.

Roberto leads the group Bomba Ashé and also sings\, dances\, and plays a variety of drums including the panderos of plena and the barriles of bomba. Based in the US since 1965 and in Connecticut since 2016\, Roberto offers master classes and workshops on drumming and dancing\, presents educational programs in schools\, and has performed as a soloist with leading Puerto Rican artists such as Los Pleneros de la 21 and Eddie Palmieri. Bomba Ashé includes Roberto’s wife Gloria Lopez\, an accomplished bomba dancer herself\, and many of the most experienced bomba y plena musicians in the Northeast.  \nThe Puerto Rican traditional dance form known as bomba developed on the sugar cane plantations throughout the coastal areas of the island\, arising as the musical expressions of enslaved Africans brought to work there from the 17th century. Connections with other colonized Africans and Caribbean groups from Haiti\, Cuba\, and Santo Domingo created a rich variety of percussion-driven rhythms in bomba\, along with songs and dances that told stories\, related histories and social values\, and sometimes conveyed messages of rebellion. Traditional instruments include barrel drums\, maracas\, and rhythm sticks. Songs and dances are extemporaneous and creative in conversation with the drum rhythms in call and response patterns. Bomba has been constant in the musical landscape of Puerto Rico among traditional communities\, accompanying community gatherings and festivals as well as public performances. \nPlena functions as a “sung newspaper” for the people who moved increasingly into cities on the island after the end of slavery. There they connected with local rural residents called jibaros\, as well as with Taino descendants\, creating a mix of cultural influences that is reflected in the sounds and narrative lyrics of plena. Instruments are primarily the three sizes of the pandereta\, a hand-held drum\, and the guiro\, a serrated gourd that is scraped to produce a soft background rhythm. Both bomba and plena have found new life\, great popularity\, and skilled practitioners in mainland Puerto Rican communities. Plena musicians can be identified by their white panama hats.

SUMMARY:Outdoor Concert Series: Rancho Folclórico do Clube Português de Hartford
DESCRIPTION:Rancho Folclórico do Clube Português de Hartford\, founded in 1972\, is the oldest continuously performing Portuguese dance group in New England. Based at the Portuguese Club in Newington\, over fifty members of the Rancho ranging in age from 5 to over 60 come from families of dancers and musicians who have been with the group for decades. Their repertoire of Portuguese songs – and the hand-made costumes – come from all the cultural regions of Portugal including the Azores\, reflecting the make-up of the Hartford community.  \nThe concert will take place on the beautiful CMCH lawns at 1 Elizabeth St.\, Hartford. Grounds are open for seating and picnicking from 5 PM\, and the music begins at 6 PM. All of the CMCH outdoor concerts are free and open to the public. Visitors are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs and food.  \nThis concert is the second in the 2018 season of the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History’s outdoor concert series on summer third Thursdays with generous support from the Evelyn W. Preston Memorial Trust Fund\, Bank of America N.A.\, Trustee\, and the National Endowment for the Arts and the CT Office of the Arts/DECD.  \nMore About The Artists: \nRancho Folclórico is committed to authenticity in its performances\, presenting the songs\, dances\, and costumes as they exist today in Portugal. Northern dance formations start with male-female pairs dancing in circular rotation or in columns with the partners across from each other. Dancing with the arms raised\, often holding castanets\, is a distinguishing feature of Portuguese dance. The Rancho’s repertoire includes the vira from the northern coastal province of Minho. Dance movements – vira means “to turn” – reflect the activities and occupations of the area. So the vira refers to movements arising from the fishing activities of Minho\, while the chula and malhao from Tras-os-Montes suggest threshing\, husking and preparing grain in that farming province.  \nAccompanying the dancers\, the Rancho’s musicians play accordions\, violao (guitar)\, cavaquinho (the early form of ukelele)\, mandolin\, hand-held frame drum\, triangle (1)\, and reco reco (a long piece of serrated wood scraped with a stick). In the music of Ribatejo\, a split bamboo stick called caninha (“little cane”) keeps the beat instead of drums. Male and female vocalists sing festive songs\, often about wine\, romance\, and rural life.  \nConnecticut residents of Portuguese descent number close to 100\,000. There is a Portuguese Consulate in Waterbury\, signaling the importance of this ethnic group’s presence throughout the state. Large Portuguese communities settled in coastal towns to pursue fishing occupations; many of these immigrants came from the Azores. Factories in inland cities such as Waterbury and Hartford attracted immigrants from rural areas of Portugal who sought work wherever they could find it. The population of entire towns in the northern farming and seafaring provinces of Minho\, Tras-os-Montes\, and the Beiras came to settle here\, so the Rancho’s songs\, dances\, and costumes reflect these specific regional origins. More recently settlers have come from Ribatejo\, bringing different music and dance. In their home areas of northern and central Portugal\, many of these farmers and laborers were singers and dancers in the regular festivals\, church celebrations\, and special events which were always marked with music and dance. In America too the connections to village and traditional practices remain fresh and solid despite the community’s successful integration. \nThe Portuguese Club in Newington\, the Holy Ghost Society in East Hartford\, and Our Lady of Fatima Church in Hartford celebrate a regular series of religious and secular festivals including St Martin’s Day in November (commemorating the crop of chestnuts)\, Festa Divino de Spirito Santo in May\, the Rancho’s anniversary in October\, the Day of Portugal in June\, and the Festival of Folklore in March featuring Ranchos from the US and Canada. \n

SUMMARY:Voices of Wisdom: Newcomer Stories
DESCRIPTION:Update: this event has passed\, but video of it can be found here. \nThe Connecticut Cultural Heritage Arts Program (CCHAP) at CMCH  is proud to present Voices of Wisdom: Newcomer Stories. This interactive event will illuminate the journeys\, struggles and achievements of immigrants and refugees making new lives in Connecticut\, through storytelling\, art\, music\, and dance. \nWe believe that this interaction is a good way to break down barriers of understanding. Eight speakers from groups and countries such as Burmese Karen\, Somali Bantu\, Mexican\, St. Lucia\, Nepal\, Ethiopia\, Syria\, and Cote d’Ivoire will share personal narratives showing how they have overcome difficulties of adapting to a totally new culture through resilience and creativity\, becoming good neighbors and pursuing careers and artistic activities that benefit us all. Speakers will use a 10-minute storytelling format to highlight a particular touchstone moment that expresses their joy\, frustration\, achievement\, or dreams as they make new lives in our city. \nOften newcomers “fly under the radar” of society\, and they may be stereotyped as economically disadvantaged\, users of public assistance\, and challenged by lack of English and knowledge of how to “fit in.” Our presentation will highlight the skills that refugees and immigrants bring with them to America\, and the contributions they are making as artists\, musicians\, performers\, and cultural leaders. \nCHS is partnering with the Asylum Hill Neighborhood Association’s Welcoming Committee to produce the event. Georges Annan-Kingsley\, a Hartford-based artist originally from Ivory Coast\, will serve as the evening’s emcee. Performances will include drummers\, dancers\, and singers from Cote d’Ivoire\, Congo\, and Nepal. A reception\, art show\, and marketplace featuring local newcomer artists will precede the storytelling. Throughout the evening\, audience members can meet the artists\, talk one-on-one with the speakers\, and dance with the performers. \nReception and art show from 5:00 – 6:00 pm. Performances to begin at 6:00 pm. Light refreshments will be served. The event is free and open to the public\, but please RSVP at rsvp@chs.org. \nContact Lynne_Williamson@chs.org or 860-236-5621 for more information. \nThe event is supported by the Greater Hartford Arts Council’s United Arts Campaign with major support from the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, and the CT Office of the Arts/DECD.
